Sunday Selections #806

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.

In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.

this is from "no-one", some time ago now, she was tracking the night cameras down on one of the beaches, I forget why, but thought this shot was pretty interesting and sent it to me. Shrubs in the foreground, waves in the background, heavy machinery on the right.

magpies in her backyard, caught by the motion detector camera

heavy trucks in my street some time back, there didn't seem to be any work going on, perhaps they were taking a lunch break

this is a removals van/truck and the design is a teddy bear with a "clock" face, enlarge it to see it better, I think it is very cute. I had a look at their website and learned they can also pack all your goods for you as well as move them. Good to know.

oh look! it's one of my dragons, steampunk style. 

remember when crazy paving was a big thing? I still like it, though it is hardly ever seen nowadays.

I recently bought a new refill bottle of Windex (good stuff, cleans almost anything off everything)

and was really (REALLY) pleased to read the bottle is 100% made from coastal plastic recovered BEFORE it got to the oceans. The fine print there reads "collected on land within 50k of an ocean so that it does not reach oceans or landfills"

Australian Native trees are evergreens, but deciduous trees brought in over the last couple of centuries have lost their leaves now that it is winter here and I like seeing the tracery of branches against the skies

the crepe myrtles are also bare and the pretty red branches are more easily seen now.

the white of a young birch tree also stands out against the native greenery.

uh-oh, looks like the Dinosaur/Gnome party is getting a little out of hand.. (one of my many garden ornaments that live in the back porch)

finishing today with:

"The Monkey Pub" so named because people have been donating stuffed toy monkeys/chimps/gorillas to add to the collection above the bar. Brother R sent me this, the pub is in Adelaide, I think at Glanville, near Semaphore, but can't be sure.
